Summary
A brand new candy bar is in town! But why is it making everyone act so strangely? And what exactly is this ingredient called Tri-Enzomated Zorn Jelly, anyway?
Plot
Buster sees a commercial on TV for a new candy bar called Big Boss bars. He immediately starts seeing all of his friends eating the bars, including Binky who buys large amounts of Big Boss bars from the Sugar Bowl to sell to people and earn money. Buster decides to try the candy bar, but before he eats the candy, he notices that there are several ingredients on the nutrition label that he hasn't heard of before. Buster also notices that after his friends finish enjoying the candy, they become tired, sluggish, and they begin to have headaches. After going to the library and talking to the Brain to learn more about the ingredients, he finds out that some of the ingredients in the candy bar come from beetles and may be radioactive. When Buster tells his mother, she decides that they should take a tour of the candy factory. When Buster and his mother, they quickly learn that the ingredients in the candy are addictive and making people sick. Buster's mother writes and article in her newspaper, exposing the candy factory's secret and ending sales of Big Boss Bars. While Binky tries unsuccessfully to sell the now unwanted Big Boss bars, Buster admits he's glad he never tried the candy while he eats healthy food.
